what is the range of this phone from the base?

My experience has been that the signal begins to weaken at about 100'. Before I purchased this system, I called a tech rep at RCA to ask specific questions, one of which was the signal range. He told me it is designed to have up to 200 meters, which is around 600'! If you're using it at home, it should be plenty, but I use it at work, and am very displeased with the limited signal range.

To be honest- I get nearly 200 feet with this baby. What drives me nuts about the brand is the screen on the hand sets go blank after about a year and then the handset eventually stops working. We have 3 handsets hooked to the base and to have good displays and one is blank. Good phones overall though!

It worked pretty well, we have it in our store, which is about 1000 sq, it works throughoutthe area. hope that helps

I use in an office setting. The farthest I have used it is about 20 feet and that distance was good reception.

The base connects to your land line, the phone is portable and uses a wireless connection to the base. If you loose power, I suspect the phone will not work.

I believe the range is 500 feet. I can walk out to the mailbox (country road) and to a back shed on our property of 2-1/2 acres. My phone or any other device is no problem.

W. Tobias had the correct answer. The Panasonic range extender does not have any effect on the bluetooth range - cell phones will have to be within 15-20 feet from the base.

I was able to use this phone about 250 ft. from my house. Not sure if this helped

The range of the handset to the base is at least 1/4 mile. We use them at the barn and the base is in the house. No setup for the intercom - just push the button on the handset or base. Same goes for finding a lost handset - which REALLY comes in handy!

This phone is only for expanding your system. You cannot plug and go if you dont already have a base. So the answer is No.

This has great range also. Left my phone in my home office and walked to the other side of the house in the basement.(65+ feet plus walls and floors) Worked great. Forgot I did not have the phone in my pocket.

I'd say 50'.-75' But I must also add they are probably one of the worst cordless phone sets I've ever had. When using the buttons there is a slight delay with each push of the button. Its annoying.

Sorry, Loonlover, I have not found an answer to the question of how to extend the bluetooth range of the base station.

My base is in the back room and we use the cordless phones throughout the house and do not hear any difference in sound and best of all there is no static. I have not walked outside with it but on average I am about 30-40 ft. away. The battery lasts a long time too.

I would say about 75 feet. I bring my cordless handset to my backyard and have perfect clarity.

Not that far...maybe 15-20 ft. I use it in my classroom and have to leave the phone by it while walking around the room. :(

I'm very happy with it's range. I couldn't give you an exact number, but it works well enough that I never worry about dropping a call or connection when I'm within reason. Line of sight with the sending bluetooth device offers great range.

The cell phone (connecting via blue tooth) needs to be fairly close to the base--10 feet or less. I have had the hand set out in the yard about 30 - 40 feet from the base and it worked ok--but that is only 1 wall (the house) - I am not sure how a second wall (the shop) would affect reception. Not really a definitive answer but about the best I can do.

The range is extremely long. I used it in a landmark building in NYC and was able to go up 9 flights of stairs with decent reception and made a phone call. IT does have draw backs though as a phone with limited features, but the range makes up for it.

The range is good, but the phone was made poorly, it loses connection to the base phone and cuts off. I tried calling customer service, and emailing them, but I have had no response.
